Chatbots on Contacts
After an update this chatbots thing appeared. I want it gone. It is not necessary. Reading the questions here there many others do too. How to remove it from contact screen?
or switch to a different messaging app…
there is a video in this forum that explains what chatbots are used for etc..
its basically an attempt to be like Alexa and Google assistant…

Does this lack of a solution mean I have to replace Samsung messages with Google Messaging?
This is not a solution. The request from customers is how to get the useless "Search for chatbots" and the Chatbots header off the Contacts screen where it intrusively shifts all contacts down including favorites. Videos about what it is do not solve the problem.
yeah Samsung created it and OP decided to jump onto the Beta test wagon and run it as well..I have a LG V60 and they use Google Messages...I do not have this on my phone..Samsungs and OnePlus phones only.
Well thanks for pointing that out, would have been nice too see had my phone shown me the rest of the thread, yet just another problem with my phone and or service provider that is constantly and ever so consistently pissing me off with poor quality that I’ve been sch a fool to put an ounce of trust in and keep giving them my hard earned money. I assure you I won’t be a fool any longer in doing so. Technology is a waste anyhow it’s sad how we have become unable to function without devices unable to interact with another human unless we have our tech. Truly sad! Hey thanks again wouldn’t have seen it otherwise as I had no intent to revisit, but since you pointed it out I couldn’t resist taking a peek at the culprit . So thank you and have a great day!
theres literally a post right in front of yours with a video explaining what it is..and whom it belong to.
Ya I have it too funny thing is one min it's there and later it's gone. I think this is some sort of Spyware. Tmobile has also breachedcme 3 times . Time for lawyers I'm fed up with their tactics . Trying to replace my phone when i pay for ins and I'm denied false promos or they will not honor their promos ....yeah tmobile screwed up in a major way!

I suggest using your file manager instead of your browser to install it. You might have to uninstall the update, if possible, from the app before overwriting it with the previous version. Once done, don’t update the app and make sure automatic updates are off.
then i recommend heading over to Samsungs forums and see if there has been any mention of removing it..last i remembered it could only be turned off but not removed..
The purpose of this exercise is to find a solution.
